Discovered this wrapped in paper all the way in the back of a cabinet. I don't recognize the markings but this guy needs a cleaning and seasoning. Then dig up my brownie recipe...
Some interesting markings on this one:
The chalked "Marshall Field & Co." refers to the department store that probably sold the piece.
The paper label was unfortunately placed where it's been damaged by the locking handle but, it gives a clue with the address (Google wasn't helpful).
The second half of the stamped "BMCH 3 22" probably refers to the date of manufacturing no clue on BMCH tho.
The table was left behind by the previous owners of my grandma's house. We've used it for anything but a dining room table in that time. It came with an additional leaf, a full pad and 3 matching chairs.
Heritage House was the store brand of Dominicks in the Chicagoland area. I'm guessing there's a few years between these two packages due to the package design.
Both unopened.
Putting this (partial) set into use. Classing up the kitchen & replacing the mis-matched stuff currently in use.
A nice piece found as I cleared out my parents place.
All the way on the top shelf...
Bought at a garage sale 25 years ago for a buck.
Just finished servicing this one after one of the dogs chewed on the cord.
Disassembled, cleaned and oiled the motor & it runs so much better than it had before. Added a new cord & went with a 20 footer to reach where I want it.
Build date September 25, 1975.
Some old labeling here as well as extinct products and obsolete equipment.

I found these at my parents place, they were signed when they met the artist. The cards are sealed and the coins appear to be clad.
Any opinions?
We've had rain almost daily & a frost/ heavy dew this morning. Spencer & Gideon had fun blasting through the wet dandelions but what a mess! Booties helped!
No "best by" dates on these but the bottles have a separate base on them, I can't remember seeing that in a very long time.
Sharing stuff like this has helped to soften the impact of clearing out the house.
Mom refinished this in the 70s. The top was a mess wih watherstains from grandma's plants.
No markings underneath.
